Robbie Williams has revealed he’s taking his daughter Teddy on tour with him next year – as she’s a ‘calming presence’ and will ensure he gets plenty of sleep.

The Candy hitmaker revealed plans for his 17-date European tour yesterday and now he’s revealed he’ll be giving his two-month-old daughter Theodora Rose a taste of his pop star lifestyle by taking her with him.

Robbie explained his reason for letting her join him on his Take The Crown tour is because she’ll make sure he doesn’t go too wild.

Speaking yesterday at the Soho Hotel, he said: ‘Of course she’s going to come on tour with us – she’s a very calming presence.

‘It will probably mean I’ll get more sleep because she’s there, as opposed to less. She’s rounding off my sharp edges as the weeks progress.’

Robbie, 38, welcomed Teddy, who is his and wife Ayda Field’s first child together, in September.

He went on to reveal how much Teddy has changed him as a person and he couldn’t be happier.

‘I feel something cosmically has changed within me. I feel more grounded and happier as a person,’ he said.

Robbie also moved to address rumours he is no longer a bona fide member of Take That, insisting he has never left the band and hopes to reunite with them very soon.

‘Am I rejoining Take that?’ he said. ‘I haven’t officially left. This is all written now, what happens with me and the boys, it’s up to us to write what configuration, what happens, how we sing it, where we go if we do go, if we don’t go, and that is still up in the air. Very, very much.

‘What I do know, God willing if we all remain healthy, then I will definitely be a part of Take That at some point because I love being in the band, I love the boys and I love the creative process with them.

‘It’s joyful being around them and that tour last summer was just absolutely incredible, it kick-started my professional career, not for other people, but for my sake – got my confidence back.

‘Being with the boys gave me space to find myself again, I’m back, I want to go on tour and I want to smash it.

‘I’m sure there are many factors why I’m back and I’ve got the energy, Take That being one and my baby being the other.’
